Do I need to finish all the Anima sequences in their order to get to that last area with the two files?

I'm taking on Classic, and I need all the files, too [I'm fully achieving this game], but to do the third sequence for just one file? That's ridiculous. So, if anyone is certain, could I go to Union's business district [it'd be chapter 12] and do the second sequence, and still get those other two files and the revolver?

To get the revolver you need to trigger and finish all encounters in one playthrough.
Anima will not spawn at all in the game unless you investigate her first Resonance in Ch 3.

Nope. You need to finish all 3. And frankly, they aren't very long segments anyway. Shouldn't take more than a couple minutes to complete Anima segments, especially when you've done them before.

The problem is that he plays on Classic, and it's rather easy to make a small mistake and die in Anima segments. Losing hours of progress is not particularly fun.

Personally I'd recommend just skipping the whole Anima "questline" all together in Classic mode and do brass-knuckle speedrun for the collectibles later.

Yeah, I should really do that. I guess I like pushing my limits sometimes x3 The Residual Memory in Juke's Diner in chapter 12 disappeared anyway, but now we're all aware of that. Thanks, guys~
